Recharging magnets – use 6 volts D.C. For double charge use 12 volts D.C. (Storage battery). Current need only flow for a few seconds. Repeat several times and while current is flowing rap magnet with a piece of wood. Mark the magnet before removing from magneto. Install after recharging to same position.

#16 gauge copper wire, enamel coated type used in rewinding motors. One bolt clockwise and one bolt counter clockwise. I use 200 turns of wire on each bolt and it doesn’t seem to be strong enough. Maybe someone else can add to this.
